ninjabread man?

games I own, dude. Not games I will never touch. I mean, unless people are offering to supply me with the games they want reviewed (hint hint for anyone wanting to see a Mario Kart Wii review )

Ok, enough joking. Just make a poll or something.

I already wrote the game summary for that one. I can't do a review for it cause it's too spec heavy for my computer to run it, so I'm just keeping it until I finally get a computer powerful enough to let me play it.

NOT IT!

In all honesty, it sounds like a good idea. I was actually thinking about something similar to the 'price based review', but my model was a little simpler. Just go with a review like normal, and end with "I'd buy this game if it cost X dollars american (or whatever) I think it works better because you don't have to take into account when the review is read. Like, what happens if they release a game for the 360 that costs the full 60$, and you review it and give it a -30$ because it wasn't that great but still pretty fun, and then a year later somebody sees it in the used section of the game store for 25$, doesn't know about it, finds your review and thinks "-30? Man, this game sucks" and doesn't buy it.

Plus, the original system penalizes games like Rockband which sell for ridiculous amounts. Example: I don't think rockband is worth the full 180$ (or however much it costs) but think it might be worth 100$. Does that make it worse than a game for the 360 that is so bad that I would not take it no matter how much it costs. (-60$ compared to the -80$ for the rock band pack?)

Actually I was planning on doing my reviews that way. but then also providing current price listings along with that, both used and not used, to give an idea of the current viability of purchasing the game. If you just want to know how good teh game is, then go by the letter grades. By having this review method, I can just simply grade games based on how good the games are and not be acting like a C game deserves and F simply because it's selling at the same price as many A rank games.

As for the issue with guitar hero, that implies that I'm ever going to own or review that game. I love DDR, but guitar hero and rock band just aren't my thing. Also, i would likely review each part of a packin game separately for the pricing, so when I said "I'd pay this much for the game" and compared that the the current selling price, I would first exclude the price of what the packin would sell for separately.
